I agree. My son fought back after I spoke to him and he sorted it out. I was called in by the head mistress and told her to not punish him as what he did was under my instructions. Best thing that ever happened as he took no more shit and is 6 ft 6 now.

If your kid is being bullied at school is it wrong to tell him to fight back?
<p>Its a tough one . As a parent telling your child to fight back is very hard as they are frightened but it will keep happening unless the bully is confronted. A good slap back might stop the bully in their tracks and they will think twice about doing it again. Now it is easy for me to say that . I would probably be on the roof looking in on the playground in a frog suit waiting for the punch so I can whisk her away. It's a difficult one but you have to stand your ground. The smaller you are the dirty tactics come into play.  That or play a boy older than the bully to keep an eye on your child! </p>

json_metadata"{"app":"Musing","appTags":["real","life"],"appCategory":"real","appBody":"<p><em>Ouch. That's a difficult question, if not an impossible one, and I'll try to explain why:</em></p>\n<p>Fighting back isn't really an option because:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>The bully(ies) will retaliate in greater measure, he'll end up suffering more</li>\n <li>You don't want to teach him that the only way to react to a bad situation is through misconduct of is own.</li>\n <li>The fight will blow up, something which neither the parents, the children, or the teachers want</li>\n <li>He'll likely end up in trouble. For some reason the person in the right always seems to be the one who gets into trouble.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>However, if doesn't fight back he can't simply let them continue because:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>He'll continue to suffer, something you certainly don't want</li>\n <li>He'll be training himself to roll over when faced with opposition, also definitely bad for him</li>\n</ol>\n<p>And he can't go to the teacher, as it seems most people suggest because:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Nobody wants to <em>\"tattle,\" &nbsp;</em>be they in the right or in the wrong. In fact, this dislike of <em>\"tattling\"</em> is even worse in children.</li>\n <li>The bullies will likely retaliate, they'll simply do it subtly so as not to get in trouble.</li>\n <li>You're telling him that when he's stuck, he should give up and push his problems on someone else.&nbsp;</li>\n</ol>\n<p>And so the question remains: what should he (let's just call <em>him </em>a<em> he, </em>the same applies for a girl)<em> </em>do? I really can't tell you, the answer depends on the kid involved and he whole situation in general. <strong>However: </strong>&nbsp;I would suggest this basic guideline, just my personal opinion.</p>\n<p>If he's getting seriously physically abused: that means getting seriously punched or kicked, be it in the face, stomach, or any such painful area (this specifically doesn't include punches in the shoulder or kicks in the leg, these can be viewed as horsing around (even when they're not) and therefore have their own set of rules), then he should go straight to the teacher. <strong>No questions here, I don't care if he feels that it's wrong: this is serious, and if the teachers/administration can't and don't take care of it then they shouldn't be in those positions.</strong></p>\n<p>If, however, he is not being seriously abused like this, rather he's being constantly tortured with more minor attacks such as tripping, shoving, punches to the shoulder and kicks to the legs/feet, he <strong>should not </strong>by any means go to the teacher, rather he should retaliate in kind. If the bully attacks him seriously (see previous paragraph), he should go straight to the teacher and tell him/her that this bully was horsing around, he responded/joined in, and the bully retaliated like <em>this</em>. Shouldn't be too much of a problem.</p>\n<p>If instead the bully goes to the teacher himself, or the teacher notices and wants to discipline your kid, he should tell the teacher: <em>\"he wanted to horse around/playfight, I simply joined in.\" </em>With his most innocent face. Just a thought.</p>\n<p>If he's getting verbally abused: he can certainly respond in kind, however he <strong>must not </strong>respond physically, that would create a real problem on his part. If he has trouble coming up with good retorts, and it's really bothering him, sit him down and talk to him about sensitivity - it's not going to help much, and he's not going to have a fun time, but eventually either something will click or they'll stop bothering him - or both.</p>\n<p>I don't know how good these suggestions are or how well he/his teacher's will react to them, it's just my opinion on the matter. I'd appreciate it if you try to tell me what you think of this whenever you get the chance.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk2lnmm75","appParentAuthor":"cryptoandcoffee","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}"
